*********
Thinking of this, Jin Xiaoqiang's heart is not particularly comfortable, especially these countries and enterprises that earn a lot of RMB in the Celestial Empire, but when they turn around, they sing the praises of the Celestial Empire internationally.
It's like those Wanwan stars who talk about the good of the Celestial Empire every time they go to the Celestial Empire, and they don't scold the Celestial Empire as soon as they turn their faces when they return to Taiwan.
For such a bastard who picks up his chopsticks to eat, puts down his chopsticks and scolds his mother, Jin Xiaoqiang has never intended to be merciful and keep his hand.
Anyway, they can go to a lot of RMB from the Tianchao Pit every year, and it is nothing to help the people of the Tianzhao get some back, anyway, signing these contracts is a matter of your will, and I didn't put a gun on the heads of those customer representatives to ask them to sign contracts with themselves.
It's better to pit gringos like this than to produce billions of shirts and socks to go out for these ghosts to consume and get back a pile of waste paper.
After finalizing the contract with Dürr, Jin Xiaoqiang's procurement task in Germany is completed, and the next thing to go to is ABB in Sweden to negotiate.
ABB in Sweden was formed in 1988 by the merger of two century-old companies, Assia in Sweden and Brown Farry in Switzerland.
This ABB Group is also one of the world's top 500 enterprises, and it is also a big leader in the field of electronic automation.
In fact, if you want to say that the Americans are obviously doing better in this area of electrical automation, especially General Electric, it is a pity that the Yankees have always been very hostile to the Celestial Empire, Jin Xiaoqiang is afraid that if he goes to the United States, not only can he not purchase equipment, but he will also be invited to drink coffee by the CIA, and then he will put on a commercial spy hat for himself, then it will not be worth it, so in the end he decided to choose ABB.
After all, ABB's products are not much worse than those of General Electric, and the most important thing is that the price of others is more affordable than that of the Yankees.
After the merger, the headquarters of the ABB Group was located in Zurich, and after Jin Xiaoqiang and Alice left Germany, they went straight to Zurich.
Also before coming, Jin Xiaoqiang had already asked Alice and ABB to contact for a long time, and the two sides had already understood each other's intentions.
So after arriving in Zurich, Jin Xiaoqiang was not polite to the people of ABB Group, and after concisely explaining his requirements, he asked the other party to come up with a plan as soon as possible.
With an annual output of about 250,000 vehicles, the ABB Group does not know how many welding lines it has done for automobile manufacturers around the world.
So after listening to Jin Xiaoqiang's request, the other party quickly came up with a set of robotic welding line system previously designed for Saab.
Jin Xiaoqiang saw that this system can fully meet his own requirements, and there is still a lot of room for expansion and upgrading in the future.
There are a total of 20 stations in the main welding line, and 23 to 40 robots are responsible for drilling holes or welding.
Under the control of the computer of the mechanized assembly line, this system can be completed automatically, and the left and right sides are enclosed by the assembly fixture, the floor assembly positioning fixture, and the cover top assembly positioning fixture.
Moreover, the robot's control is very precise, it can be controlled within 0.2 mm, and it can change models in less than 10 seconds.
In short, in order to satisfy Jin Xiaoqiang, the Swedes did not hide it, and it can be said that they took out all the mainstream tools of the world's automobile manufacturing enterprises.
Jin Xiaoqiang was very satisfied with the sincerity of the other party, so the two sides quickly signed a contract, and the total price of this production line was about 15 million US dollars.
Similarly, Jin Xiaoqiang also signed a long-term supply contract with the other party, and if necessary, the other party must provide the same amount of machinery and equipment at the current price.
The Swedes made money, of course, they were very polite to Jin Xiaoqiang, and Jin Xiaoqiang's request was not excessive, who asked them to quote this price at the same high price?
Who made the current Jin Xiaoqiang look like a big wronged man in their eyes?
At the same time, Jin Xiaoqiang also imported a batch of tools from ABB for the edge of the car, and the Swedes also quoted 3 million US dollars, and Jin Xiaoqiang took it directly without talking about the price.
Although the dollar has been depreciating in recent years, it has not depreciated so much in the world, so it still has considerable purchasing power in Europe.
After getting these approximate contracts, Jin Xiaoqiang took Alice around Europe again, for example, he also went to the Czech Republic, where near the Skoda headquarters, bought a robotic gluing system, and also purchased a lot of other car-making equipment.
In fact, when it comes to making precision machinery, the craftsmanship of the Czechs is not much worse than that of the Germans, but because the country is too small, almost no one knows its influence in the world, so their products are much weaker in terms of fame.
In fact, their products, especially precision products, are not particularly high-precision, such as building airplanes, atomic bombs, submarines, etc., which are enough for making cars.
In fact, in later generations, many military enterprises in the Celestial Empire once bought a lot of good things from countries like the Czech Republic and Ukraine as technical reserves.
After a circle in Europe, Jin Xiaoqiang's procurement is basically completed, but he probably spent about $120 million on this circle.
The main reason for this is that the coating line spends the most money, but this coating line is prepared for an annual output of one million, so there is no need to invest too much in the future.
And if the machinery and equipment he purchased were in place, then basically a factory with an annual output of 250,000 cars would take shape.
At the beginning, Jin Xiaoqiang did not dare to set the goal too high, he knew that the development situation of the automobile industry in the Celestial Empire in recent years would be a blowout development, he was a fledgling young man, it would be good to be able to lead a company to enter this market, he didn't want to become a fat man in one bite.
Even Ricky Automobile, which was known as the leader of its own brand in the industry in China, only completed the annual production and sales of 100,000 vehicles at the end of 2005.
This trip has cost more than 100 million US dollars, and if you add up to RMB, according to the current fixed exchange rate of 8.2, this has already cost nearly 1 billion RMB.
At present, no domestic car company, whether independent or state-run, dares to invest as much as him and buy production lines like crazy.
As far as the world price level in 2003 is concerned, the purchasing power of more than 100 million dollars is quite acceptable, because the dollar at this time is not as worthless as the dollar of later generations.
Ten years from now, if he wants to buy these equipment, Jin Xiaoqiang expects to spend at least twice as much money as he does now.
And the most cost-effective of these deals, of course, is the ancillary contracts signed with those suppliers, which is a huge deep pit.
In fact, it cannot be said that these manufacturers are short-sighted, but none of them would have predicted that in a few years, the renminbi will appreciate so much, and the dollar will shrink so much.
And according to the contract they signed with Jin Xiaoqiang, if the dollar does not depreciate and the yuan does not appreciate, these contracts of theirs will leave them with a lot of profit margins.
It's a pity that none of them are reborn people like Jin Xiaoqiang who have two lifetimes of experience, so they can only jump into the big pit that Jin Xiaoqiang dug for them, as for whether they can climb up in the next few years, it depends on their own ability and Jin Xiaoqiang's mood.
After getting the purchase, it has entered November, and Europe has also entered winter, Jin Xiaoqiang has no plans to stay in Europe for long, he is still thinking about the new car he designed at this time.
So although Alice cast a murderous gaze at him every time, Jin Xiaoqiang chose to turn a blind eye and asked Alice to book a plane ticket and return to China very strongly.
He returned to China this time, not only to see the new cars he designed, but because he had to continue to copy several new cars.
Judging from the current automobile market, next year, his company will only launch a new car, which is very insufficient, and he will make persistent efforts to quickly occupy some new pits, so that those latecomers can only follow behind their butts to eat ashes.
Otherwise, those large automobile companies are quite efficient, once they realize that they are a dark horse to enter the automobile market, they will soon speed up the original research and development plan, come up with new models to fight their own cars, and then a lot of good themes that can be copied, but it will turn into running water.
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't want to spend several years fighting a patent lawsuit with the other party.
When the plane arrived in Nanyang City, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and Jin Xiaoqiang did not send Alice back to the hotel where they had stayed for a long time, but went directly to the gear factory.
Alice has long been used to her workaholic boss, and to be honest, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't let her play in Europe, she was a little angry, and even a little resentful.
After all, as a female surname in the new era who has been influenced by European and American ideas for a long time, she still has a lot of yearning for Europe.
But she saw Jin Xiaoqiang's workaholic attitude, she was also very happy in her heart, which shows that she didn't choose the wrong person, Jin Xiaoqiang is a piece of gold and jade, his vigorous and resolute work attitude, coupled with his ability, Alice believes that Jin Xiaoqiang will become a star in the automotive industry sooner or later.
Isn't it a blessing to be able to grow up with a legend?
The two took a taxi to the gear factory, but they didn't expect that there was also a group of people in the gear factory who didn't get off work, and when Jin Xiaoqiang took Alice to the door of their car laboratory, Alice couldn't help but be stunned!
A streamlined black sedan with black elegance and domineering, feminine but not lacking masculine beauty, is lying quietly at the door of the laboratory!!
This! Is it the car we produce?
